Traits

Read from the figure's description, which a model wrote. Open "why" for the sentence a trait came from.

Behaviour

Island disguise collapses when weight accumulates
why
It is described as resembling a flat island or low reef while it rests at or near the surface — a shape convincing enough that boats could mistake it for a real landform.

Offensive powers

Ship capsizing
why
It then rises or shifts beneath the hull, capsizing the boat and spilling its occupants into water cold enough to kill quickly.

Defensive powers

Camouflage
why
It is described as resembling a flat island or low reef while it rests at or near the surface — a shape convincing enough that boats could mistake it for a real landform.

Roles

Judged from the works' own entries, not from the description. Carries: the figure holds the role. Meets: the role is in its stories, held by something it meets.
